I give it about 1 day after mittens loses the election for the republican

[Javaman]

long knives to come out after mittens.

It won't be pretty.

1. yep tolja..........

he wasn't conservative enough...

[BeyondGeography]

2. If so, the same wingnuts who are lauding him right now

will run with last night's sellout performance as proof that his failure to uphold conservative values did him in.

[CTyankee]

3. Good. I hope they eat each other alive in the process!

Let the carnage of the Republican Party begin!

[KurtNYC]

4. They have been out since the primaries

According to Ann "It's hard" to put up with that much GOP friendly fire.

But the big opportunity will be to rip the Republican party in half once and for all. The radicals and the Tea Partiers will blame the "moderates" for running liberal Mitt.

5. I give it 2 days

First day they will be saying "if the election had been held in the week after the first debate Willard would have won". Second day the long knives will come out.

9. And I just thought if the repukes lose a lot of house and senate seats to boot...

oh there will be no end to the evisceration on mittens.

[porphyrian]

6. I can't wait. I hope he drags a bunch of Congressional obstructionists down with him.

7. When Romney loses, I won't think much about him anymore... but they'll hold a grudge. nt

8. After Romney loses

How long until Sheldon Adelson demands a refund from Mitt?

[primavera]

10. I hope you're right

The fact that, despite his amply demonstrated idiocy, Mittwit still possesses support that's even measurable convinces me of the veracity of H. L. Mencken's quip: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

[DefenseLawyer]

11. It will be the same battle they are having now, times 10

between the Republican establishment (Jeb) saying we can't win anymore with only white men and the Tea Party rabble saying we just weren't conservative enough.

[gollygee]

12. It'll be his fault, and not their fault for pulling him too far to the right

The real problem is that they've moved way way way too far right, but they won't admit that. Maybe they'll say he was too much of a centrist.

[Flashmann]

13. It won't be pretty

Oh but it will.......It will...

[Cosmocat]

14. The spin is going to be how weak of a reelect it was

Bush barely got over the finish line, winning 286 to 251 EVs and 50.7 to 48.3 total vote percentage, and they babbled, and therefor the liberal media babbled, about how he had a MANDATE.

BO will have the same, or better margins, and also see pickups in the senate and house.

But, 2004 will be erased history, and the talk will all be about how weak of a reelect he had, and whatever spin they come up with to excuse it and say that he has no support to do anything for the next four years.

[quakerboy]

15. What exactly do you think that means?

He and all his personal millions will really feel the pain, eh?

Realistically the worst thing that can happen to Romney this election is not ending up president. Well, and IRS investigations, but that would be an issue, election or no, it's just exacerbated by the publicity.

[Javaman]

16. The usual type stuff...

begin blaming mittens for all their failures. Chicken littles running around thinking their world is ending. Especially since I believe that there is a good chance now that they may lose the house.
